Tigard FAQ
What time do Tigard parks close?
Tigard does not codify a single citywide park-closing time. Under TMC Chapter 7.52, the Public Works Director sets closing hours for individual parks, and those hours are posted on park signage. Minors are subject to the citywide juvenile curfew under TMC Chapter 7.44 — 9:15 p.m. (under 14) or 10:15 p.m. (14-17) — even if a park's posted hours run later.

Yes. Entering or remaining in a park after its posted closing hour is a violation of TMC Chapter 7.52 (Park Property Use), punishable by a fine of up to $500, and the conduct may also be addressed under TMC Chapter 7.58 (Rules of Conduct on City Property), which authorizes exclusion from city property.
